The New Jersey Devils had been going through some rough times after returning from their COVID pause. But things appear to be turning around, as they have three wins in their ...

It’s been a busy week for the New Jersey Devils. Trade rumors are beginning to pick up steam before the April 12 deadline, especially those involving Devils’ players.  Plus, could ...

If you had told me Pavel Zacha would be the New Jersey Devils’ leading scorer through 15 games of the season, I wouldn’t have believed you. But after a three-point ...

With the Vancouver Canucks’ elimination from the playoffs, the New Jersey Devils will officially select 20th overall at the 2020 Draft. They acquired the pick at the trade deadline when they sent Blake Coleman to the Tampa Bay Lightning, who originally owned the Canucks’ pick. It’s the third first-round pick they have this year, and it offers them the […]

Because the NHL suspended play in March due to COVID-19, we’re now entering the heart of the offseason. There already have been a couple of trades, with the Pittsburgh Penguins acquiring Kasperi Kapanen and the Montreal Canadiens acquiring Jake Allen.  We’ll likely see more moves this month, given the condensed timeline, and that’s why TSN released their […]

Free agency is a little over a month away, and the New Jersey Devils will have just over $26 million in cap space to spend. Though it’s unlikely new general manager Tom Fitzgerald goes wild and spends to the cap, he’ll still have to be smart spending the team’s money when signing any unrestricted free agent.  And […]

Finding a top-flight, left-handed defenseman has been a problem for the New Jersey Devils for a few years now. Their last significant addition on the left side of their blue line was Will Butcher, who signed as a rookie free agent way back in 2017.  That’s a long time to go without upgrading an essential position group, […]

Back in December, the New Jersey Devils traded Taylor Hall to the Arizona Coyotes after a tumultuous start to the season. Part of the return for Hall was the Coyotes’ first-round pick. And after the Coyotes’ elimination from the playoffs yesterday, the Devils know they’ll be selecting 18th overall.  The Devils will have plenty of options with […]

With the offseason approaching, it’s worth taking a looking at what the New Jersey Devils may do with all their cap space. The NHL salary cap will remain flat, at $81.5 million, due to revenue loss from COVID-19. That will put some teams in a bind, but not the Devils, who’ll have over $26 million in […]

The New Jersey Devils have a lot of cap space. That’s no longer a secret, but what they do with it remains to be seen. The Toronto Maple Leafs, on the other hand, are in a cap crunch and will be hurt by the salary cap remaining at $81.5 million due to revenue loss from COVID-19. And […]

There hasn’t been a ton of New Jersey Devils news since the hirings of Lindy Ruff and Tom Fitzgerald in early July. But that changed yesterday when the organization announced they had signed top prospect Reilly Walsh — a 2017 third-round pick — to a three-year, entry-level deal.  Walsh just completed his junior season at Harvard University (NCAA), finishing […]

The New Jersey Devils are once again in a prime position to weaponize their cap space this offseason. Their current salary cap projections forecast them to have $26 million once the offseason begins, giving them ample opportunity to improve their roster.  That won’t be the case for many teams due to the salary cap remaining flat […]

Weaponizing cap space is not a luxury many teams have. But it’s something the New Jersey Devils have done to a great extent over the last few seasons. Whether it was acquiring Marcus Johansson in 2017 or Nikita Gusev almost a year ago, they’ve used their available cap space to their advantage.  It won’t be any […]

One of the first moves of the New Jersey Devils’ rebuild in 2015 was acquiring right-winger Kyle Palmieri from the Anaheim Ducks. The team has had limited success since the trade, except for a playoff appearance in 2017-18. But that doesn’t mean the move didn’t pay off. In fact, it’s been quite the opposite.  Palmieri scored 30 […]

The New Jersey Devils will have a lot of money to spend on unrestricted free agents and trades this offseason. But they’ll also have to keep a chunk of change aside for some notable restricted free agents (RFAs), one being Jesper Bratt.  The Swedish winger was a sixth-round pick of the Devils in 2016 and has performed […]

The New Jersey Devils surprised many when they announced Lindy Ruff would take over as the team’s next head coach. Before then, he served as an assistant coach overseeing the New York Rangers’ defense and penalty kill. He was also the Dallas Stars’ head coach from 2013-17, where he got the team to the playoffs twice in […]

Part of the new CBA extension that became finalized last week entailed keeping a flat salary cap, at $81.5 million, for the 2020-21 season. The New Jersey Devils will benefit from that, as they’ll have a projected $26 million in cap space, while a team like the Vancouver Canucks is going to be in a cap […]

The New Jersey Devils’ coaching search finally came to an end earlier this week. And it didn’t come without a surprise, as they announced Lindy Ruff would take over behind the bench. Ruff had spent the last three seasons as an assistant for the New York Rangers. Before then, he was the head coach of the […]

Now that we know the New Jersey Devils hold the seventh overall pick at the 2020 Draft, it’s time to begin discussing what they could do with the selection. There should be a few highly skilled forwards available that the team needs if they want to build around Nico Hischier and Jack Hughes.  The prevailing thought […]

The New Jersey Devils have been without a permanent head coach since Dec. 2, when they fired John Hynes and replaced him with Alain Nasreddine. The search has been underway since then, and a familiar crop of names has come up in their shortlist. Veteran coaches among their finalists include Peter Laviolette, John Stevens, Gerard Gallant, and […]
